The electriQ Tuya Zigbee Hub (STRV-HUB) is designed for users looking to create a robust and interconnected smart home ecosystem. It offers a key benefit of reliable device management through a Zigbee mesh network, ensuring connectivity even with weak Wi-Fi signals. A potential caveat is that its full functionality is best realized when paired with electriQ's own Zigbee Smart Radiator Valves. This hub acts as the central controller for various Zigbee-enabled devices, allowing for app control via Tuya Smart, voice commands through Alexa and Google Assistant, and custom automation routines. Its compact design and USB power make integration simple.

A Zigbee mesh network is a type of wireless network where devices communicate with each other, creating multiple paths for data to travel. This increases reliability and extends the network's range, ensuring devices stay connected even if one device goes offline or is out of direct range of the hub.
Yes, the electriQ Tuya Zigbee Hub supports a variety of Zigbee-certified devices from different manufacturers, allowing for a flexible smart home setup. However, for the best experience and full feature access, using electriQ's own Zigbee Smart Radiator Valves is recommended.
While an internet connection is needed for initial setup and for remote access via the Tuya Smart app, the hub can support local control of connected Zigbee devices. This means some automations and controls may function even if your internet connection is temporarily lost.
The hub is powered via a 1.5M Type C USB cable. You will need a standard USB power adapter (e.g., a 5V/1A or 5V/2A adapter commonly used for mobile phones) to plug into a wall outlet.
Ensure the new Zigbee device is in pairing mode (refer to its manual). Open the Tuya Smart app, navigate to the hub's settings, and select 'Add Sub-device' or a similar option. The app will then search for and connect to the new device.
The electriQ Tuya Zigbee Hub comes with a 2-year warranty.
The box contains 1 Smart Hub and 1.5M Type C USB cable.
Ensure your Wi-Fi is 2.4GHz (most hubs do not support 5GHz). Check that the hub is within range of your Wi-Fi router and that your router's settings are not blocking new devices.
Make sure the Zigbee device is in pairing mode (refer to the device's manual). Ensure the hub is powered on and within close proximity to the device during the pairing process. Reset the Zigbee device if necessary.
Check for signal interference. Try repositioning the hub or the affected device. Adding more Zigbee devices can strengthen the mesh network.
Verify that the hub is correctly linked to Alexa or Google Assistant within their respective apps. Ensure the device names in the Tuya Smart app are clear and easily recognizable by voice.
